The Prince of Wales, who recently returned to work after a three-week Easter break with his family, has seen his own popularity jump eight percentage points to 69 per cent after putting his public duties aside to care for his wife.
Just behind the Waleses is the Princess Royal, on 64 per cent, marking a jump of five points, with the King on 56 per cent with a jump of four points and the Queen at 45 per cent, up from 40.
Even the Duke of Sussex, who these days languishes at the bottom of such tables alongside his wife, Meghan, and uncle, the Duke of York, enjoyed a jump of four percentage points on last year, taking him to 31 per cent.
Prince Andrew, who was seen leading his family at a memorial service for King Constantine of Greece in February and also joined senior royals at church on Easter Sunday, enjoyed a jump of one percentage point, taking him to 12 per cent.
The poll of 2,116 adults was conducted by Ipsos for the Mail on Sunday.
Is it driven by sympathy?
Gideon Skinner from the polling firm, told the newspaper: “As the King returns to public duties he is greeted by a further boost in favourability ratings for himself and other core members of the Royal family.
“The question for the monarchy is whether this is a short-term improvement driven by a swell in public sympathy or whether it can be maintained – particularly among younger generations where the Royals need to focus their engagement effort.”
